Prayer  for  the  Confederate  States. 

Almighty  God,  the  Sovereign  disposer  of  events, 
it  hath  pleased  Jhee  to  protect  and  defend  the 
Confederate  States,  hitherto  in  their  conflict  with 
their  enemies,  and  be  unto  them  a  shield.  With 
grateful  thanks  we  recognize  thy  hand,  and  ac- 
knowledge that  not  unto  us,  but  unto  Thee  be- 
longeth  the  victory,  and  in  humhle  dependence 
upon  thy  Almighty  strength,  and  trusting  in  the 
justness  of  our  cause.  We  appeal  to  Thee,  that  it 
may  please  Thee  to  set  at  naught  the  efforts  of  all 
our  enemies,  and  put  them  to  confusion  and  shame. 
0,  Almighty  God !  we  pray  Thee,  that  it  may 
please  Thee,  to  grant  us  Thy  blessing  upon  our 
arms,  and  give  us  victory  over  all  our  enemies 
wherever  they  may  be ;  preserve  our  homes  and 
Altars  from  pollution,  and  secure  to  us  the  resto- 
ration of  peace  and  prosperity — all  of  which  we 
ask  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  our  blessed  Lord 
and  Saviour — to  whom  with  the  Father  and  the 
Holy  Spirit,  we  will  give  all  the  praise  and  glory 
in  time  and  throughout  all  eternity  !     Amen.
